The defeat of "Ned' Hanlan by Teen.
or at Toronto in August indicates the
lend of the glory" of the doughty cham
pion.
He has sustained his record with admi-
rable pluck and success, but the tremen-
dous strain of years of training must
certainly some day find its limit.
Apropos of this we recall the following
interesting remlnlscence of aquatic an
nails:
On a fine, bright day IN August, 1871,
an excited multitude of $1,000 to 10000
persons lined the shores Of the beautiful
Kenebecassis, near st. John, N. b., at
tracted by a four-oarcd race between the
famous Paris crew of that city and q
picked English crew for 8 5000 and the
championship of the world. Wallace
Ross, tho present renowned oarsman,
pulled stroke for the Blue Nose crew,
and 'Jim'' Renforth, champion sculler
and swimmer Of England and Of the
world, was stroke in the English shell.
Excitement was at fever heat.
But three hundred yards OF the course
had been covered when the E%nglishmen
noticed that their rivals were creeping
away.
"Give us a dozen, Jim," said the vet
eran Harry Kelley, ex-champion of
England, who was pulling No. 3 par.
II can't, boys, I'm done," Said Rem
forth, and with these words he fell for
ward, an inanimated heap in the boat.
"He has been poisoned by book-mak-
ers," was the cry, and belief,
Everything that science and skill could
suggest tor his restoration was tried; but
after terrible struggles of agony, the
strong man, the flower Of the athletes
and pride of his countrymen, passed
away.
Tho stomach was analyxed but no sign
or trace ofpoison could be found therein,
though general examination showed a
very strange condition OF the blood and
the life-glving and health-preserving Or
gans caused by years ofunwise training.
While the muscular development was
perfect tho heart and kidneys were badly
congested.
The whole system was, therefore, in
just that state when the most simple de-
parture from ordinary living and exer-
ton was of momentous consequence.
His wonderful strength only made his
dying psroxysms more dreadful and tho
fatality more certain.
Hanlan is now in Australia. Beach,
champion of that country, is a powerful
fellow, who probably understands the
liability Of athletes to death from over
training, the effect thereof being very
serious on the heart, blood and kidneys,
as shown by poor Renforth's sudden
death.
Within the past three years no has ia
ken particular care of himself, and when
training, always reinforces the kidneys
and prevents blood congestion in them
and the consequent ill-etfect on tho heart
